Making Mistakes

“…keep in mind that even with the best planning, midcourse corrections are often a necessary part of the painting process. As you get more deeply involved with a painting, it is only natural that you will discover things you did not notice before. An idea that seemed achievable at the outset may not come off as you expected. Yet a successful painting is not the result of a thousand correct choices, but of a thousand corrections. One of the ironies of the creative process is that a whole string of mistakes (if corrected) can lead to a successful painting.”

WELCOME TO THE BLOG

This blog is dedicated to the art I make and the way I make it. Beginning in 2016, it will also include descriptions of our adventures in our motorhome and recaps of art festivals and shows we attend. Here you will find paintings, sketches and drawings, using gouache, pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor. I also occasionally post step-by-step demonstrations, ~ Hopefully, some of the information found here will be useful.
